    Abstract Background A case of tuberous sclerosis patient on long-term follow-up is reported here. Case presentation A 22-year-old female patient with epilepsy was diagnosed with tuberous sclerosis at the age of 12 years. At that time, a small subependymal giant cell astrocytoma has been detected along with the other signs of the disease. But the patient was not symptomatic of the intracranial lesion at that time. So, she was kept under follow-up with treatment for the epilepsy. Within 10 years, the lesion gradually enlarged and caused symptoms and the tumour had to be resected at the age of 22 years of age. Conclusions Subependymal giant cell astrocytoma is very slow-growing low-grade tumour. If small and asymptomatic at the time of the initial diagnosis, resection is not advised. The patient should be kept under close follow-up.
